SSD Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Away from home it's crying out for Knight in the middle of the pitch. Bird and Hourihane's styles bring no energy, constantly getting overran and unfortunately teams are picking them apart.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hmmm... Your 'football philosophy' isn't working Liam. We need some runners from midfield! strawhillram, Elwood P Dowd, Rammy03 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfcreece1601 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Is anyone else really underwhelmed with hourihane so far? I kept saying he would be levels above but he seems below half of the midfielders we play currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamInFrance Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Dissapointing first half, and I fear there will be plenty more until we fix the lack of balance in the middle of the park. Bird and Hourihane are not the answer, I don't think it works. It has been crying out for Knighty in there, the opposition crap themselves when he runs at them.

I am, but I honestly think that playing him and Bird together is contributing to the underwhelming performances from both of them to be fair. It just doesn't work.

Physically I think he's almost completely shot tbh, and it's resulting in him playing 9 sloppy passes for every 1 good one for the highlights. That could be a current fitness issue but it was noted just how slow he was and how little he did off the ball before he came here, so maybe not.

Yani P Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 They press we can't deal with it..they are up for it we are not.. They deserve the lead 100% But...we can easily win this if we play to our level..I would make a couple of changes at HT as our midfield has been anonymous..

SK47 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Absolutely shocking first half. We have nice passages of play here and there but Knights foul really f'd up our plans of controlling the game and working our way into it, which is why I've been saying for the longest that we need a rb in the form of what we've had over the last however many years. Fast both going forward and defending. Knight is a box to box midfielder and we could actually do with him there more than at rb right now. Didzy needs to come on in place of Collins IMO as we need to keep hold of the ball infront of their box instead of wasting possession. Shocking first half, much needed improvement needed.

The personnel we have selected are hampering the way we can play I do partly agree about the midfield being disjointed but I think they’re expecting to walk all over teams with doing very little running. We’re everyone’s cup final in this league and we’re being massively outworked. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
